Adios Plastico

Oh, happy day! a truckload of bamboo furniture arrives in town, and the vendor, who has driven 25 hours from Vera Cruz, is anxious to sell. Lots of interest - it is surprisingly difficult to find reasonably priced comfortable, light furniture like this, even in Guadalajara, apparently.
Now what to do with the purple futon - and its purple painted metal frame? With the team of Israel and Javier "no hay problema" and up to the teraza it goes.
By the end of the day, the vendors are happy - they have sold all the goods on the truck, and are headed back to Vera Cruz with orders for more.
It's sure fun translating this Mexican color into my artwork.

End of the Season

It's early April, and many of the Northerners are heading home from Mexico. Semana Santa is over, and the beach is getting cleaned - by volunteers and by the tide...
I have not been blogging this season, so plan to catch up my "blog followers" with a selection of photos taken over the last few months...below is one of the oil paintings inspired by the jungle of my yard down here. It is called Jungle Flower, and you can see it if you go to www.carollopez.com, and look in the Available in La Manzanilla set.
